Pretty much anything combining fashion and science/technology (two of my passions) will grab my attention — like the 3D printed bodice and wings featured in the 2013 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show… move over laser cut, hello print my own clothes! Now THAT’S a trend I could follow! — so when I heard about the latest venture by a team of college students to create a nail polish that reacts when it comes into contact with several key date rape drugs (Rohypnol, Xanax, and GHB) I had to know more.

In fact, just hours after hearing about it I was posting the news on my Twitter account to spread the word.
